about the image:
From the days of fresh Polaroid time-zero film and the hand-manipulation of the chemicals within. I often did this within 24 hours of a shoot, by heating the surface of the print with a hair dryer to increase the pressure sensitivity of the magic happening directly beneath the thin top surface. My tool of choice, a barbecue skewer – scraping and shaping the facets of the image to my pleasing.
Beauty Rituals is a comment on the daily peacock rituals expected of beauty and today’s “modern” woman. These items were pulled from my own makeup drawers in the powder room from my (then) daily quest of this concept.
